[Solved] Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output

First topic name Alsa FFT Based equalizer has no sound output, see edits.
Second topic name  Pulseaudio: No HDMI sound output see last post
Third topic name  Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output see last post

Hi,

I use pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa.
I have configured pulseaudio to use equalizer by adding module loading to the bottom of config:

$ tail /etc/pulse/default.pa -n 1
load-module module-equalizer-sink

The equalizer has no effect with  "Built-in Analog Stereo", so I changed in pavucontrol to "FFT Based equalizer on %soundcardname%"
After that the sound became muted. The config shows the volumes are at 100%.

The preamp in qpaeq also shows there must be a good volume level

Tried reboot after confguring so the pulse is restarted by KDE.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Edit:

AI saw that there are three options in pavucontrol

"%cardname% (HDMI)"
"Built-in Analog Stereo"
"FFT Based equalizer on %cardname% (HDMI)"

The only one which gives sound is the "Built-in Analog Stereo".
Switching to TTY and back does not solve the problem (the monitor wasn't turned off since boot anyway)

Reading This thread I didn't understand what is the solution and whether it solves my problem.

Re: [Solved] Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output

Now it's even worse. When I booted today no sound in Built-in Analog Stereo as well. Tried removing the equalizer module and restarting pulseaudio, but it didn't help.

ALSA devices are not in use:

$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  doctor     1197 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  doctor     1197 F.... pulseaudio
$ fuser -v /dev/dsp
Specified filename /dev/dsp does not exist.

The cards are detected

.pulse config is deleted

$ stat ~/.pulse
stat: cannot stat ‘/home/doctor//.pulse’: No such file or directory

And ALSA is not muted

////////////////////////////////////////////////
Edit:


Then I reinstalled pulseaudio and left the configs untouched and the sound is there again.
Now HDMI %cardname% output is not indicated as unplugged, but still gives no sound.

Re: [Solved] Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output

It seems the problem was in the place of config where the module should be loaded.

When I added

load-module module-equalizer-sink

Just after

# static hardware detection module 

Now the FFT based equalizer stream is not streamed through HDMI and called

"FFT based equalizer on Built-in Audio Analog Stereo"

And there goes my sound.
I thought that HDMI was the only way it works, but it seems that putting FFT based equalizer by pulse was an error in config.
HDMI is not configured on my machine (and I don't need to use it anyway).

Re: [Solved] Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output

I was having the same issue and this solution worked perfectly for me.

Re: [Solved] Alsa FFT Based equalizer through HDMI has no sound output

Hi, your topic name is wrong... you're using pulseaudio to do the equalizing.

It appears you have multiple sinks (e.g. cards) and this is why the module defaults are not doing what you'd like... unfortunately you only get to pick one sink that the equalizer is attached to.

The parameter you're looking for to force it to be hdmi is to first find the name of that sink using pacmd list-sinks.  You would then pass this as such (for example):
load-module module-equalizer-sink sink_name=equalized sink_master=alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo

Also the equalizer needs to be loaded after the dbus module is loaded.
